Las Vegas guide and MSE thread 2012

I once had a comped night at the IP and one at the Excalibur. Considering how low rollers we are, I was delighted with this even though I know they are low end places.

Haven't had anything since though.

so my hubby looks at youtube videos to get himself in the mood for Vegas and he's currently getting prepared for our upcoming trip - this is our favorite so far - it's better if you don't read the caption/comments...and yes, she is playing $4.80/spin, but still.

Review [URL="http://wizardofvegas.com/forum/las-vegas-attractions/other/3106-mike-ocallaghan-pat-tillman-memorial-
bridge/14/"]here of the walk [/URL]to the Bridge (bottom of page.)

Didn't look at reviews,we actually done the mini tour last time we were in Vegas.We booked through grand canyon tour company.It was about $30 each,and we had about 2hours at the dam.We saw a pre show about the construction of the dam,and then were taken down below the dam,where the giant turbines were.We then had some time to walk around the top of the dam.There is a little plaque on the wall stating where the Nevada/Arizona border is.They had removed the painted Nevada/Arizona markings from the road before our first trip.One other thing I noticed looking at pictures we took of the dam from our first trip,compared to our last visit,was the dramatic drop of the water line around the lake.It is noticeably lower than our first visit,and that's only a six year gap.

We've got 3 nights comped at NYNY this upcoming trip, plus $50 freeplay and 20% off our bill in certain restaurants. We got a similar deal last year, 3 nights, free entry to a slot tourny and $100 freeplay.

However, compared to last year there is a distinct lack of offers on Mlife, and seems almost worthless.

In our previous 3 visits to Vegas we have never signed up for the Total Rewards cards, looks like we've missed a trick there.

That is so cool! We have played there a big, not a huge amount, but have had a lot of play for our limited money...a couple of chaces at Jackpot Party too (never more than 1 star)...and hubby plays the freeplay quite a lot - very grateful to Triker for mentioning it.

The chat kind of freaks me out though - some people sound absolutely desperate to win...someone said they won £3000 (one of the JPP prizes) on 21st December and lost it all back before Christmas! We were very OMG, that's just crazy.
